In light of a recent bug inApex Legendsthat temporarily caused player progress to disappear and caused a few periods of downtime, Respawn Entertainment is issuing all players with free Apex Packs.
As a way of compensating players for a series of recent impactful bugs, glitches, and server outages inApex Legends, developer Respawn Entertainment has issued free Apex Packs to everyone who logs in to the game over the next couple of weeks. However, it has yet to resolve the issue of missing progression earned between a major progression wipe bug and its fix.
Players can claim free Apex Packs if they play the game within the next 2 weeks
Respawn Entertainmentannounced yesterdaythat all players who log in toApex Legendsbetween now and 10 a.m. PT on June 10, 2025, will receive 8 free Apex Packs. To claim them, you simply need to launch the game and sign into your account. You don’t even need to start a match.
Thank you legends for your patience as we work through the data outage and the data recovery process. As a thank you for your understanding, we’re giving everyone 8 Apex Packs! Simply log in before April 24 at 10 am PT to see them in your account.
The developer is doing this to apologize to players for the recent bout of fairly massive bugs and glitches and for the server maintenance time used to implement fixes. The issues began last weekwhen an update toApex Legendscaused most players to lose progression, cosmetics, and even Herlooms.
The development team got to work identifying the issue and implementing a fix as soon as possible. However, this led to in-game restrictions, the postponement of new ranked splits, and, as should be expected,server outages.
Unexpected server downtime isn’t fun for anyone who has a limited time to play the games they love. That’s why Respawn Entertainment is making this peace offering with Apex Packs.From what I’ve seen, it’s gone some way towards alleviating the tension between the developer and the player base.
There are still some issues that need to be fixed, though. Players on thegame’s subreddit aren’t happy about this lost progress from that brief time period, and more want to know if previously earned rewards from old seasons, such as Seasons 4 and 5, or seasonal challenge progress are ever going to be restored.
It’s hard to know if the developer is capable of restoring the still missing profile rewards at this point. We’re currently in season 20 ofApex Legends, so if those rewards are gone and restoring them requires digging into the game’s archives, it could take a long time. I’m sure Respawn Entertainment will keep us informed as it works on future restoration initiatives and fixes.
